The proportion of the gross revenues of said waterworks shall be paid into the several accounts of said special fund, hereto- fore established by Ordinance A-B, adopted on July 10, 1965, is hereby fixed and determined as follows: (a) Operation and Maintenance Account. Thirty-six per cent (36%) of the gross revenues of said waterworks shall be paid into the. "Operation and Maintenance Account," and shall be used to pay the necessary cost of the reasonable and . proper operation and maintenance of the waterworks, including any taxes required to be paid. The sum so set aside for operation and maintenance shall be applied exclusively to that purpose until a surplus shall have been accumulated in the Operation and Maintenance Account which shall be equal to the cost of maintaining and operating the waterworks during the remainder of the calendar, operating or fiscal year then current and the cost of mfrintaining and operating the water- works during the calendar, operating or fiscal year then next ensuing. Any excess over such surplus may be transferred by the Board of Trustees to either the Depreciation Account or the Bond and Interest Redemption Account. (b) ,Depreciation Account. Six per cent (6%) of the gross revenues of said waterworks shall be paid into the "Depreciation Account," and shall be expended in making good - 2 - ./iII<..";,~<., depreciation in the waterworks, or in new construction, extensions or additions to the property of the system. Any accumulation in such Depreciation Account not required for immediate use may be invested as provided by the laws govern- ing the investment of municipal funds, and if so invested, the income from the investment shall accrue to the Deprecia- tion Account. Said account shall not be used for any purpose other than as herein provided. (c) Bond and Interest Redemption Account. Fifty- eight per cent (58%) of the gross revenues of the waterworks shall, as.such revenues are received, be set apart and paid into the special account identified as the "Bond and. Interest Redemption Account." The funds in said account shall be used solely for the purpose of (1) paying the interest on and prin- cipal of the Waterworks Revenue Bonds of 1965 issued pursuant to Ordinance No. A-8, in" accordance with the terms thereof, and (2) paying the interest on and principal of the bonds issued pursuant to the provisions of this ordinance in accord- ance with the terms hereof, and any bonds hereafter issued ranking on a parity therewith, to the extent required for said purpose. If and when a surplus shall be created in said Bond and Interest Redemption Account which shall be in excess of the interest on and principal of the bonds, plus ten per cent (10%) which are payable during the then current calendar, operating or fiscal year, together with the amount of inter- est on and principal of the bonds which will become due and payable during the calendar, operating or fiscal year then next ensuing, plus ten per cent (10%), then the Board may transfer any excess over such required surplus to either the Operation and Maintenance Account or to the Depreciation Account, or may direct that any such excess funds over such - 3 :... -- required surplus shall he used in the purchase or redemption of outstanding bonds at a price not exceeding the then applic- able redemption price specified in the ordinance authorizing the issuance of said bonds. No further payments need be made into the Bond and Interest Redemption Account when the amount contained therein equals or exceeds the amount of the princi- pal of the bonds then outstanding and interest thereon to the dates of maturity thereof.
